Cola Chocolate Cake

I found this recipe on Pinterest one day.  I saved it to my “Yummy Foods” board and waited for a time to try it out.  My husband does not like chocolate, so to make a 9×13 size pan of these for no reason would be a bad idea, as in bad for my hips but oooohhh so good for my lips 🙂  It tastes a lot like Texas sheet cake, very moist and flat.  Yummy, delicious and very chocolatey!  Enjoy!

Cola Chocolate Cake:

Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 9×13 pan.

Mix:

2 c. flour

2 c. sugar

1/2 t. salt

1 t. baking powder

1/2 t. cinnamon

In a saucepan over medium-high heat bring to a boil and stir well:

1 c. butter

1/4 c. baking cocoa powder

1 c. cola

1/2 c. buttermilk

Now take off the heat and add to flour mixture.  Mix well.  Then add:

2 eggs

1 t. vanilla

Mix well, put in pan and bake for 30-35 minutes.  Do not overbake.  Cake is done when toothpick comes out clean.  When cake is almost done, in a saucepan mix:

1/2 c. butter

1/4 c. baking cocoa powder

1/2 c. cola

Once this boils, remove and slowly stir in 4 cups of confectioners’ sugar until nice and smooth.  When cake comes out of the oven, pour this warm frosting glaze right on top of the hot cake.  Enjoy!
